Scroll way down for more detailed instructions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I suggest using Chrome for this &#8211; though Firefox SHOULD work as well. I wouldn&#8217;t even try it with Internet Explorer &#8211; life is too short.<\/li>\n<li>Open up your email, or Drive. Look for the little square made up of little squares, on the right. Click it &#8211; that will bring up a list of Google Apps that you have available.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the MORE link at the bottom &#8211; and you should see Hangouts listed there. Click on it &#8211; which will open up a new tab.<\/li>\n<li>There will be a 4-screen walkthrough pop up. Just scroll through it.<\/li>\n<li>See the little menu on the left side? Click the three dots to open it up.Click it to see what the options are &#8211; ESPECIALLY the &#8220;invites&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>If you have an invitation, you should be able to click on it to start connecting.<\/li>\n<li>If YOU want to start a video call, then click the Video Call icon in the middle. That will open up a new tab, and you&#8217;ll see a box where you can type in an email address.<\/li>\n<li>You MIGHT have to allow off-campus connections by clicking a box.<\/li>\n<li>Once the call has started, at the top you can click the gear icon to set what camera to use, what microphone, etc.<\/li>\n<li>The menu at top also lets you mute the microphone and camera. If there&#8217;s no picture, sometimes it&#8217;s because the camera is muted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you have your email open in a browser window, then a popup note should appear in the window when someone invites you to video chat.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Advanced notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can also chat over Hangouts, and do audio only.<\/li>\n<li>You can also have multiple people involved in a hangout:<\/li>\n<li><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mainImage\" src=\"http:\/\/9to5google.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/01\/google-plus-hangouts-20120111_01.jpg?w=474\" alt=\"\" data-bm=\"71\" \/><\/li>\n<li>You can see there are 7 people involved in this one. You just keep inviting more people to your hangout.<\/li>\n<li>There IS a limit, but you will probably over-stress your machine or the network before you reach the Google-imposed limit.<\/li>\n<li>There is also an option to add Apps to a hangout &#8211; one of which allows you to draw onto someone&#8217;s face.
